True freshman Michigan Wolverines quarterback Bryce Underwood's first start is in the books, having helped the Wolverines to a 34-17 win over New Mexico in Week 1 of the college football season.
In Week 2, though, the road gets tougher.
This Saturday, Michigan will travel to Norman, Oklahoma to take on the No. 18 Oklahoma Sooners. Between the Sooners' ranking, the 80,000-odd hostile fans who will be making noise at Gaylord Family Oklahoma Memorial Stadium and the opposing coach -- Brent Venables is one of the top defensive minds in the sport -- it's fair to call this the first true test of Underwood's career.
